Analysis of genetically diverse macrophages reveals local and domain-wide mechanisms that control transcription factor binding and function

ABSTRACT: Non-coding genetic variation is a major driver of phenotypic diversity and allows investigation of mechanisms that control gene expression. Here, we systematically investigated the effects of >50 million variations from five strains of mice on mRNA, nascent transcription, transcription start sites and transcription factor binding in resting and activated macrophages. We observed substantial differences associated with distinct molecular pathways. Evaluation of genetic variation provided evidence for roles of ~100 TFs in shaping lineage-determining factor binding. Unexpectedly, a substantial fraction of strain-specific factor binding could not be explained by local mutations. Integration of genomic features with chromatin interaction data provided evidence for hundreds of connected cis-regulatory domains associated with differences in transcription factor binding and gene expression. This system and the >250 data sets establish a substantial new resource for investigation of how genetic variation affects cellular phenotypes.

Regulatory DNA in A. thaliana can tolerate high levels of sequence divergence

Project description:Variation in regulatory DNA is thought to drive evolution. Cross-species comparisons of regulatory DNA have provided evidence for both weak purifying selection and substantial turnover in regulatory regions. However, disruption of transcription factor binding sites can affect the expression of neighboring genes. Thus, the base-pair level functional annotation of regulatory DNA has proven challenging. Here, we explore regulatory DNA variation and its functional consequences in genetically diverse strains of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, which largely maintain the positional homology of regulatory DNA. Using chromatin accessibility to delineate regulatory DNA genome-wide, we find that 15% of approximately 50,000 regulatory sites varied in accessibility among strains. Some of these accessibility differences are associated with extensive underlying sequence variation, encompassing many deletions and dramatically hypervariable sequence. For the majority of such regulatory sites, nearby gene expression was similar, despite this large genetic variation. However, among all regulatory sites, those with both high levels of sequence variation and differential chromatin accessibility are the most likely to reside near genes with differential expression among strains. Unexpectedly, the vast majority of regulatory sites that differed in chromatin accessibility among strains show little variation in the underlying DNA sequence, implicating variation in upstream regulators.

Natural variation in non-coding regions underlying phenotypic diversity in budding yeast

Project description:Determining the different sources of heritable variation underlying quantitative traits in nature is currently at the forefront of genetic studies. To this end, molecular profiling studies in S. cerevisiae have shown that individual gene expression levels are subject to genetic control and this variation can mediate genetic differences on phenotype. Thus, determining how natural variation influences allele specific expression (ASE) and ultimately complex traits represents a useful tool to determine the mechanisms leading to yeast niche adaptation. Here, in order to test the hypothesis that allele-specific expression differences between isolates contributes to the phenotypic diversity in natural populations, we evaluated ASE levels in a grid of six F1 hybrids from the cross of four representative founder strains from major lineages. Genome-wide and across hybrids we quantified ASE for 3,320 genes. We found evidence for abundant genome-wide expression differences between alleles, with levels ranging between 27% up to 61% of the evaluated genes, depending on the cross. We observed that ASE can be explained by allele-specific differences in transcription factor binding to cis-regulatory regions and differences in strain-specific trans-activation can be detected by taking advantage of the shared trans environment of F1 hybrids. Furthermore, modules of genes under cis-regulatory variation with related function are enriched within the different genetic backgrounds, supporting the premise of intraspecies directional regulatory selection in yeast. Finally, we were able to identify two genes, GDB1 and ASN1 exhibiting high expression levels in the Wine/European strain and underlying phenotypic differences for oenological phenotypes due to polymorphisms within non-coding regions, providing direct evidence of the importance of regulatory variation in natural trait diversity.

Discrimination of cell-intrinsic and environment-dependent effects of natural genetic variation on Kupffer cell epigenomes and transcriptomes [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Noncoding genetic variation is a major driver of phenotypic diversity but determining the underlying mechanisms and the cell types in which it acts remain challenging problems. Here, we investigate the impact of natural genetic variation provided by phenotypically diverse inbred strains of mice on gene expression and epigenetic landscapes of Kupffer cells. Analysis of gene expression in Kupffer cells and other liver cell types derived from C57BL/6J, BALB/cJ and A/J mice provided evidence for strain-specific differences in environmental factors influencing Kupffer cell phenotypes, including preferential Leptin signaling in BALB/cJ Kupffer cells. Systematic analysis of transcriptomic and epigenetic data from F1 hybrids of these mice, and transcriptomic data from strain-specific Kupffer cells engrafted into a common host enabled quantitative assessment of cis versus trans effects of genetic variation on gene expression and an estimate of cell autonomous versus non cell autonomous effects. Under homeostatic conditions, trans effects of genetic variation were dominant, with the majority of trans regulation being non cell autonomous. In contrast, strain specific responses to acutely administered LPS were primarily associated with genetic variation acting in cis to modify response elements for lineage determining and signal dependent transcription factors. Collectively, these findings reveal cell intrinsic and environmental effects of natural genetic variation on gene expression, demonstrate the use of enhancers as detectors of trans effects of genetic variation, and provide a new resource for understanding the impact of genetic variation on gene expression in Kupffer cells.

Integrative analysis of RNA, translation and protein levels reveals distinct regulatory variation across humans

Project description:Elucidating the extent and consequences of genetic differences between humans is essential for understanding phenotypic diversity and personalized medicine. Although variation in RNA levels, transcription factor binding and chromatin have been explored, little is known about global variation in translation and its genetic determinants among humans. We used ribosome profiling, RNA sequencing, and mass spectrometry to perform an integrated analysis in lymphoblastoid cell lines from a diverse group of individuals. We find significant differences in RNA levels, translation, and protein abundance suggesting diverse mechanisms of personalized gene expression control. Combined analysis of RNA expression and ribosome occupancy improves the identification of individual protein level differences. Finally, we identify genetic differences that specifically modulate ribosome occupancy - many of these differences lie close to start codons and upstream ORFs. Our results reveal a new level of gene expression variation among humans and indicate that genetic variants can cause changes in protein levels through effects on translation.

Identification of Common Genetic Variants that Account for Transcript Isoform Variation between Human Populations

Project description:In addition to the differences between populations in transcriptional and translational regulation of genes, alternative pre-mRNA splicing (AS) is also likely to play an important role in regulating gene expression and generating variation in mRNA and protein isoforms. Recently, the genetic contribution to transcript isoform variation has been reported in individuals of recent European descent. We report here results of an investigation of the differences in AS patterns between human populations. AS patterns in 176 HapMap lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from individuals of European and African ancestry were evaluated using the Affymetrix GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST Array. A variety of biological processes such as immune response and mRNA metabolic process were found to be enriched among the differentially spliced genes. The differentially spliced genes also include some involved in human diseases that have different prevalence or susceptibility between populations. The genetic contribution to the population differences in transcript isoform variation was then evaluated by a genome-wide association using the HapMap genotypic data on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The results suggest that local and distant genetic variants account for a substantial fraction of the observed transcript isoform variation between human populations.
